The Malmö Intifada
From The Gates of Vienna/ by Baron Bodissey
Â
For the last few days young Muslim immigrants in the RosengÃ¥rd district of Malmö have been rioting. The trouble started over the closure of a storefront mosque, and escalated to the point where RosengÃ¥rd resembles the banlieues of Paris, with burning cars, rock-throwing “youths”, Molotov cocktails, and violent battles with police.Â
The interesting thing about the Swedish Intifada is that international anarchists and “anti-fascists” are acting as an accelerant in the conflagration, with explicit connections to the rioting that has broken out all over Europe in solidarity with the Greek anarchists.
Also worth noting is the assertion of Waqf jurisdiction: since the premises in Malmö had been used as a mosque, they had thereby become sacred and are thus the property of Islam in perpetuity.
